thanks Hel.
Suddenly I am feeling better.
I actually looked at a 24hour fitness today- they gave me the hard sell-
nice large clean gym- plenty of shiny newness.
some decent stuff to like.
new benches, new gear… hammer strength, some brand called hoist
DBs go up to 120 open 24 hours
price is competitive, 69 a month ( this week only)
the bad
100 machines and two squat racks one power cage, one rack.
adn octonganal plates, WTF??
its like 25,000 square feet and two racks am I missing something?
I think Im going to pass.
Not sure If I can train tonight…
I train at a Lifetime, similar deal, but its ok for a commercial gym. I just sneak in chalk on deads day and try not to clank too much. Nice thing is there is almost never a line for the power or squat racks–nobody really uses them that often. We hog one for about an hour and a half every saturday morning and no one seems to care. Also, the octagonal plates are ok if you have the matching rack. For deads, the bar rests on the rack and you can load plates easily without lifting the bar by turning the octagonal so the flat is parallel with the floor leaving about an 1/8th of an inch clearance. The bar is at a regulation height resting on the rack. They suck, however, doing deads from the floor. Here is a video showing deads from the rack:
Scuse me, but I think those are dodecagonal plates in the vid![/quote]
Hey! No math in here, Mathineer!
i like the whatthefuckever-togonal plates. that way the bar doesn’t roll around when doing stuff like deadlifts and cleans from the floor.

Continuing the hijack - I have to say my experience is exactly the opposite (a.k.a orthogonal) to that. That’s precisely what the bar does: roll right the hell into my shins or away from me when I’m attempting to deadlift.
So neener.
Octo means 12, right?

lower body is coming along- upper body has a fear of big plates.
Maybe my theory is right about me responding to higher reps for the upper?

Notes
snuck out yesterday after work to a judo club I roll/teach at had some fun
One guy asked what I was training for, cause clearly I look like I am training-
and basically accused me of training judo privately- why didnt I come there any more.
I had to admit I am still broken, so I play in the weight room.
it felt sad.
so what the hell am I training for?
I guess for starters I want the biggest squat I can get
and pull some decent stuff
So I decided to make some shit happen today…
Box squats 225 was for speed, warm ups 315 still felt snappy- good speed,
I noticed when I got my elbows pulled in tighter- my knees didn’t buckle…so I learned something
Rack pulls ran out of gas when it got heavy- these are really taxing-
I have problems breaking the bar off of the pins- I think I prefer deficit deadlifts.
BB bulgarian splits- still very awkward, but needed, I can tell what need work.
OH press I am exposed.
lower body is coming allong- upper body has a fear of big plates.
on 135 I felt like my elbo was going to explode- maybe letting these go all the way down to the
upper chest is a bad idea???
Maybe my theory is right about me responding to higher reps for the upper?
thanks for reading.

I find that stopping at chin height feels the best on my shoulders but I’m not sure what would be best for elbow probs.
nice lookin’ session kmac
Nice work, Domokun!!!

Oh, kmc, I’m glad you’re sounding happier now about your training. I’ve been thinking about you since your post in the combat forum about what happened in the judo class, so I thought I’d peek over here & see how you’re doing. You sound like you’re smiling again. 
You want to explain what these young girls are looking at?

looking good KM!!
Explain this one! I know chicks are into you, but this is just ridiculous!
good work going on here. regarding the angular plates, they suck, worst trend in the fitness industry. crap for anything from the floor becuase they can ‘reset’ wrong. my 2 cents.

That’s what you get for doing more than singles! too much cardio like that will make you smaller
Thanks People!!!
what can I say, the chics dig a puppet.
And thnk you Miss P!!!
I feel fine… just irritated at the goon…stop by any time.
Im not joining that gym- its expensive- and filled with crap I might not use.
the square dogegegegononal plate thing got to me.
that and the box squats I felt them all weekend!!!
This week might be bad for training
made some bad TV today- and then visited my Mom…
the rest of the week might be hard- long days of making somewhat less bad TV…
maybe 24 hour square plate fitness might have been not so bad.
looks like the rest of you have been busy busy
Making bad tv is better than making no tv!

For him, yes, for the rest of us, not so sure.
You needed a break KMC. Is it bad infomercials or bad porn you’re making??
I’ve never heard of bad porn, unless there is just dudes in it or some really creepy fetish.
